There's a Architect named Richard Gauge who has been stirring the 911 controversy lately. He claims that he can prove the towers were brought down by a controlled demolition that used a couple of tons of "Nano-Thermite" (which is only manufactured in defense dept. labs) to cut the steel support beams.
He, apparently has over 700 fellow Architect's behind him.
He says that the dust left over from the collapse's is filled with Nano-Thermite spores.

Now, if this is true (and it wouldn't be to hard to confirm), what then?

Then all the 9/11 truthers would be validated I suppose.


Got a link to this groundbreaking new theory?

When I did a search for Richard Gauge I got a lot of information about Richard Greene's career as "Robin Hood." nothing about an architect, "nano-thermite," or tumbling towers. However, a search for "nano-thermite" revealed that it is very popular among the 9/11 conspiracy theorists.

Some people have entirely too much time on their hands. They ought to volunteer at a homeless shelter or a soup kitchen.

If it were true, our government would be in a world of hurt! In a way, I'm kinda hoping it is true! I mean, I just don't see how an airliner could possibly bring a skyscraper of that size down. The towers stood for over an hour before they collapsed. Besides, the towers withstood a previous terrorist attack eight years before and the base of the towers were bombed yet the buildings stood! In my opinion, I think the government was involved! Just my .02 though!

I think the towers were brought down by steel-eating Fallujahn termites. I swear to God, the evidence is in the debris. If they'll let me check it out, I just know that we'll finally be able to make an undeniable connection between Iraq and 9/11...

You got to hand it to those boffins at the DoD who can not only make explosives that can cut steel, but can also compel over a dozen arab professional box openers to commandeer airliners and fly them to the explosives.

Many boffins died to bring us this information.

My mistake...it's Richard "GAGE". Apparently, Mr. Gage has been traveling 'round the country doing lectures about his findings, so I guess he did have some extra time on his hands. His org., "Architects for 911 truth" (or something like that) has a membership of over 700 Architects and engineers who have a problem with the official version of the razing of the twin towers. Living in Los Angeles, when I was awoken to the news of a jet hitting the twin towers, I thought they were referring to the L.A. County jail which goes by the same name. I said,"So"? irritated at being woke up.
When I saw the towers burning on T.V., the first thing that came to mind was "That could collapse".. But, I thought the worse that would happen is the part above the impact might topple over, possibly toppling over the rest of the building with it. I must confess, though, that when the Gi-nourmous, "invisible" hammer came down and started pounding the tower into Manhattan like a tent stake, I was more then a tad surprised.
I've avoided stating it, but from day one I've thought there was something very "off" about the whole damn scenario. I've never supported pre-fabbed preemptive "war" against objects ,descriptions or imaginary enemies. It was no secret that Iraq and Afghanistan were both in U.S. cross hairs well before the catalyzing event known as 911. So, from my point of view, regardless of whether Mr. Gage's version of events is fact or not, I sure as f_ck have never once entertained the possibility that the governments version is credible.

Mr. Gage's "theories" about 911 are cut and dry and very easily verifiable. And I, for one, think they are spot on.

"Boffin"? Is that "Commodore-speak" for "buffoon"? I might question if those D.O.D. buffoons are being sincere or playing "patsy-cake". I guess once you've gotten comfortable slaughtering foreign non combatants, women, children and the elderly, lying about who flew where and when comes easily.

Your forgetting how the U.S. liberators surrounded Fallujah, sealed it off, then evacuated only the woman and kids. Once the Woman and children were gone, the liberators "flattened" Fallujah, men and all.
The undeniable connection between Iraq and 911....They were both flattened with military precision.

Oh, goodie, another hair-brained "explanation" of the destruction of the towers to add to the pile. This "nano-thermite" can now join some of the other genius theories that have been advanced here on the forums, including directed energy weapons from space, miniature nuclear bombs, etc.

These theories are mind-numbingly stupid, but experience has shown that the folks who believe this stuff are immune to reason, so I'll depart the thread having completed my traditional function in such threads:

This is something similar to what I was thinking! The difference I see is that both towers collapsed into their own footprint. If the airliner was the cause, the towers would not have collapsed like they did and it would have been an uneven fall. I just don't buy the government's story whatsoever!

Then please entertain the thought that the government has nothing to do with it. How can you even get a balanced perspective if you don't.

The governments stance is hardly weirder then : They planned the sacrifice of 3000 civilians to be able to wage war on a country without planning an exit strategy (or any other long term plan).

Yeah sounds real logical.

What is your area of expertise that allows you to feel confident making such a statement?

Come on, Steve, it looked strange, you know? I mean, like, it didn't feel right. Really, something was odd. I was all like "Hey, those aren't going to collapse straight down like gravity and physics would normally dictate", but then they did, so I was all like "Whoa". It just seemed all strange, you know? Something was a bit off. Things just didn't seem to add up. I mean, a plane crashed into it, and I was expecting something, but then something else happened, so there's something just not right about that. Things were just not how they should have been, you feel me? I mean, I can't put my finger on it, but things just didn't turn out the same way they did in my imagination. There's just something about it that doesn't sit right.

So, obviously, the government did it.

A simple experiment confirms doubts should exist.

Place a shoebox on its end, so one of the two small sides is on the bottom. Shoebox = tower.

Throw a baseball at the box. Baseball = airplane.

If the shoebox collapses onto itself vertically, there is no conspiracy. If the shoebax flies off in the direction the baseball was traveling, conspiracy exists.

I tried it, the shoebox flew in the direction of the baseball. QED. Let the investigation into Bush's role in the 911 event begin.
